Hi there, and welcome to my world:

  • That fictional place where my characters’ choices could lead to a long, hard descent – or to a brave, fresh start.

  • And to my real world, where I hope my stories about people and places may lead to exciting journeys of your own.

Are you ready? Let’s go!

Jan Sorrento writes upmarket women’s fiction exploring family, identity, and hidden pasts, while also working as a freelance writer.

Writing

Jan Sorrento writes about fractured lives, hidden pasts, the meaning of family, and identity.

Her fictional characters inhabit richly textured worlds and face life with dark humour, determination and sometimes blind, brave hope. Despite their challenges, they almost always come through with strength and optimism – no matter how fragile these may seem to be.
